As ineffective demonstrating has been to slow the spread of fascism and authoritarianism, I feel demonstrating will have even less effect on trillion dollar corporations hell-bent on forcing ai into every aspect of society.

If we give up the ability to negotiate, then we would not be able to have this conversation in the future. As we have seen many times, all over the world, authoritarian regimes will absolutely suppress dissent and chill speech if they have

Including this near miss for Lie group E8 which at least had a pretty diagram and made some predictions about new particles. It looks like it was disproven. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Exceptionally_Simple_Theory.

"potty training". Sorry. Anyway a chemical or biological sensor in the bowl might be more useful. Optical could be useful if it's doing spectrographic analysis: the color of poo and urine is sometimes informative.

The first graph is interesting: it showed all groups about the same until late 2022 when they start to diverge. Around that time, we were talking about "greedflation" and "over hired during covid", and probably most impo

Travel, no. The universe feels designed to keep us apart. But where are the signals-light/radio, or do we need new physics to see another communication medium? Robotic prices or emissaries, maybe.

I'd like more details. Many devices won't run on USB cable alone: they won't start without a battery as well.

The emphasis should be on "our" in the title: I think they mean Portugal's first involvement, which was around 1984. If you took "our" to mean Earth, then other PCs predate the ZX Spectrum and these. https:/&#

I missed the linked article from April about how close to human death CFT-1 came. If they had lost 6DOF they would not have been able to reenter or dock, just sit there and spin until they ran out of air. https://arstechnica.com&

Yes electricity by more short-sighted, dirty methods (remember when crypto clowns bought an old fossil plant just for coin mining?) but more alarming, fresh water. That can be a bigger problem for civilization.

This is infuriating. Everything should be matte unless you live in the dark.

What a neat device. Unlike those extra spicy, dangerous sources that say "drop and run" on them, this thing only runs when you line up the CF-252 with the HEU plates. It has an off switch to stop the cascade. Perfect for lab use.

But what does win mean here? It's commoditized at this point, everyone's got options, and it's easy to swap models. This means the user share will be spread out among the different offerings. There's no winner take all s
